Parks and recreation
Main article: Illahee State Park

75-acre (300,000 m2) Illahee State Park, located north of eastern Bremerton, is part of the Washington State Park System. The waterfront land for the park was acquired between 1934 and 1954. The park offers camping, hiking, a boat launch, and a dock.

The 460-acre (1.9 km2) Illahee Preserve and the 110-acre (0.45 km2) Rolling Hills golf course are both in Illahee as well.

gollark: The machine code for them is excessively complex too, now, but I suppose you mostly write Haskell and whatnot which is then compiled to that.
gollark: They have ridiculously complex manufacturing processes because the transistors are on the scale of a few hundred atoms, it's crazy.
gollark: Also, with your processor comment, you are kind of underselling the complexity involved. It's not separate transistors, they're all just made on large bits of silicon together and wired up. Billions of them per processor.
gollark: In the case of games, which are basically just *information*, though, you can both use it because it can be copied (assuming no DRM meddling).
gollark: Quantum electrodynamics is still an important field of study.
